Editor: The fine weather of the past five days has had a good ef fect upon things iu general. Business is begiuuing to brighten up a little, and the mud to dry, yet tho roads are n condition for slow traveling. I saw eight horses hitched to a load which on good roads could bo drawn by two. Tho country is overrun by persons looking for employment, and but few succeed in obtaining it. Lumber comes in slowly, and until the mud dries up busiue?s will be dull. No new strikes of importance iu this locality sinca my last letter, but from present appearance there will be a large amount of drilling done during the coming summer, Tho Jefferson City region, and the country between Edenburg and Berlin's, and lorth of this place seems to bo most favorable territory for operating at present. The Euilenton it Shippenville It. It. will, in nil probability, be put through Ur its destination as soon as the weather will permit. It seems to bo doing a good business ; a large amount of lumber and conl is arriving at Edenburg over this ro&d, and four passenger trains run each way daily. Win. Widmer has returned to Eden burg. He has purchased Wm. Law rence's lumber, which will be run to Emleuton on the river, and then to its destination by rail. C. A. Hill and Jas. Butler give encouraging reports of their business. T. J. Van Gieseu is still fulling for Lamb. The new Odd Fellows' Hall here is completed, and they are awaiting their warrant, to orgauize. I see no reason why a good and effective lodge should not be built up here; there is no want of good material. The applicants are all anxious to start, cud that they may be successful is the prayer of your humble servant, Kisei:.

Pretentiousness is ever a sign of vul garity and emptiness,' as modesty is of refinement aud culture. The would be big man iu some little mushroom village or city, to escape being utter ly iguored by his contemporaries, must roako up by bluster and pre tense what he lacks in genuine worth and nobility. One mighty, fine tliiug about spring is that it causes men to cease grumbling about hard times for the time being and go to making garden. This will go on without much inter ruption uutil May Court, when coun ty politics will again be brought to the front, and will occasion more or less excitement until the returns of tie Primary Elections are iu.

There is on hand an abundance of silver coin, which the government would be glad to get into circulation. This Btat of things rather demoralizes those gen tlemen political economists who pre dicted that cilver would be hoarded or carried out of the country as fast at it should be put out for circulation. This is the way tho Punxsutaw ney Spirit looks at the Houtzdalo li cence list : "In Houtzdale, Clear field county, a town about the size of Puuxsutawuey, smaller perhaps, there are fiftoen applicants for tavern li cense, two for restaurant license, and four for wholesalo license twenty-one in all. The law requires that each patition be signed by twelve sober law-abiding citizens, and allowing that every voter iu the place about one hundred in all will fill the bill, fifty will bo required to sign two applica tions each, and the remaining fifty, three each. Better send Murphy up there with a bunch of pledges." Just before going to press, we learn that the store of I. II. Allen & Co., of this place, was entered by burglars on Wednesday night.
